Jurgen Klopp's comments on Trent Alexander-Arnold amid fury after early substitution

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold was less than impressed after being hooked against Brighton but Jurgen Klopp has claimed the defender didn't get the support he needed.

The Reds crashed out of the FA Cup as their disappointing campaign continued. The Seagulls, who had beaten Klopp's side just weeks ago, secured a late 2-1 victory thanks to Kaoru Mitoma's stoppage time goal. Alexander-Arnold struggled to cope with the forward and was brought off before the hour mark.

The right-back has been a stalwart for Liverpool and is rarely substituted, but he has been inconsistent this term. His frustrated facial expression summed up his feelings as James Milner came on to replace him but Klopp defended his player despite his decision.
